Join Melissa for a relaxed 2 hour hand-building workshop where you’ll create your own ceramic mug. This is a one-off class suitable for beginners with small class sizes.
Melissa will guide you step-by-step through hand-building techniques and show you how to mould and apply texture using a variety of tools and stamps.
What to expect
  • Design and make a coffee or tea mug using a template.
  • Suitable for ages 10+ (children must attend with a participating adult).

You will get to hand-build and design your own ceramic mug, with all clay, tools, and glazes supplied. The finished mug will be professionally fired and glazed in a choice of colours.

I’m Melissa, a potter and English teacher based in Brighton on the northern bayside of Brisbane. I've been more seriously doing pottery for about six years after taking a class in wheel throwing. Working with clay is addictive, good for personal well-being, and achievable — and that’s why I keep coming back to it.
I now work from my home studio, where I enjoy both hand-building and wheel throwing objects that I mostly gift to family and friends. I'm a member of my local community studio, which allows me to learn from other potters. I now fire at home with my own kiln and mix many of my own glazes.
Alongside making, I've taught high school English and Arts for about ten years. My workshops are calm, encouraging, and thoughtfully structured — and I cater mostly for beginners.
I'm fairly confident that after a class or two, you may catch the very contagious pottery bug, and I hope you do.
